Hm, I think I must have missed something.  Are you saying that in
order to get one of the possible logical representations of a visual
order string, I could just have added lots of explicit ordering codes?

I guess what I did right now is this: I implemented the bidi algorithm
without explicit levels and found that it does what I want.  I can
feed it a visual order string and get another string which I might
want to store as a logical representation.  Maybe that is too much, or
it missed the mark.  I need some feedback on that, I guess.

I'll look at it on monday -- I won't be around tomorrow.  :)
